A Wakefield school teacher has been banned 'indefinitely' after taking pupils on a 100mph test ride in a sports car.
Cheryl Smith, a teacher at Denby Grange School in Wakefield, put three children and a colleague at 'serious risk of harm' when she sped down a wet country lane in June 2019, a misconduct panel found. The professional teacher's misconduct panel was told Mrs Smith did not have permission to take the pupils out on a 'test drive' in what was described in hearing papers as a 'high performance' Audi RS3.
' The panel rejected these claims however, and heard from witnesses that when told to slow down by a colleague also in the vehicle, Mrs Smith 'laughed'. Mobile phone footage taken by one of the pupils in the car was also reported to have shown the speedometer at 102mph.
